Is imposter syndrome keeping you stuck in endless learning mode instead of launching your online course? 🚀

That nagging feeling of not being "expert enough" isn't a sign you're unqualified - it's evidence you're growing! In this episode, I'm sharing my journey from feeling like a complete fraud in my early business days to building a 7-figure company, and how I've learned to dance with imposter syndrome rather than try to overcome it. If you've been undercharging, playing small, or hesitating to put yourself out there, this is your permission slip to finally step up.

🔥 In This Episode:

• Discover why waiting until you feel "ready" is the biggest trap for course creators

• Learn to separate internal belief from external evidence (and why you need both)

• Leverage your unique perspective as your greatest marketing advantage

• Take practical steps to build confidence through action, even while feeling wobbly

Ready to discover why your course buyers aren't really objecting to your price? (Hint: it's something much deeper!) 🚀

Most course creators believe pricing psychology is about ending with 7s or 9s, but that's completely missing the point. When potential clients say "I can't afford it," they're actually telling you something else entirely.

In this episode, I reveal the three psychological levels that determine whether someone buys - and how to address the real objection hiding behind "it's too expensive." This simple mindset shift will transform your sales conversations and help you confidently price your offers.

🔥 In This Episode:

• Uncover why lowering your prices actually hurts your sales

• Master the "certainty principle" that makes price objections disappear

• Implement identity-based selling that makes your offers irresistible

• Learn how to create "certainty moments" throughout your launch

• Transform how you talk about your offers to sell transformation, not features
